Take shorter showers!

Even a one or two minute shorter shower can save up to 700 gallons of water a month. Consider turning the water off while you soap up and wash your hair…and turn it back on to rinse off. (Some call this a ‘Navy’ shower; this is the preferred method on board a military ship because there isn’t a lot of water to spare for bathing.) Multiply that reduction in water use by the number of people in your household and you’re talking about some serious water savings! You can cut your shower water usage in half by installing a low flow shower head…plus you save all the energy that would have been used to heat the water.

Don’t forget…the water we conserve today can serve us tomorrow!

ABOUT THE COALITION

The Save Water Texas Coalition (SWTC) is made up of cities, water agencies, water professionals, community leaders, and educators who are dedicated to raising public awareness about the critical need for water conservation and water reuse measures in order to assure sustainability of our finite groundwater and surface water resources.

In order to fulfill its mission, the Coalition communicates through all available venues – electronic, print, internet, and social media – to reach residents of all ages and economic status throughout Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend Counties. SWTC is collecting a broad base of water efficiency information, links, interviews, videos, and expert resources for its comprehensive website – www.SaveWaterTexas.org.
